    - MSVFW32.DLL problems I cannot get my children's Digital Blue digital movie maker software that I installed on my computer to boot. I keep get an error message that DMM has caused an error in MSVFW32.DLL and will now close. I have tried replacing the MSVFW32.DLL file with a new version from the C:\WINDOWS\Options\Cabs file, but I continue to get the MSVFW32.DLL is in use by Windows and cannot be replaced or renamed message. I have tried to shut down all programs that I am aware of that are running and tried to perform the change in Safe Mode. I still get the MSVFW32.DLL is in use by Windows message. The Digital Blue people have no answers at this time. Any ideas? Tag: Utility to copy program to new computer Tag: 225255

    - Delay in Using Windows ME Explorer&My Computer When using Explorer or My Computer there is a 30-45 sec. delay in gaining access to the Drives or Directories. The OS seems to be in a waiting mode - HourGlass Displayed during this delay. This happens everytime I attempt to open Explorer or My Computer. I am running Windows ME using an asus motherboard - IDE raid config as a boot up drive, an additional IDE drive (non-raid) config as a slave, a DVD Burner and CDR burner, (two units) and a 6 in 1 digital card reader. Any suggestions to correct this problem would be helpful. Thanks - Randy Tag: Utility to copy program to new computer Tag: 225238

    - CD ROM I can't seem to find an answer for this one...and please, not too technical or I'm lost. When putting a CD in, the computer locks up, with the exception of the cursor. It doesn't matter what type, whether audio or otherwise. At times when I try to "trick" it into running the disc, and initiating the start of a game, I'll get the "Insert the disc now" message, although it's already in. Any ideas?? Thanks!

    - Defrag starts running on its own Hi all - I have been having a problem with the defrag starting to run all of a sudden, seemingly on its own. The scandisk does not run first, only the defrag starts up. It does not happen at any particular time of the day, or day of the week, as if it is a scheduled activity. But, usually when it starts to run, the machine has been idle for a while. I have gone into another room for about 15-20 minutes, and when I come back, the defrag program is running..? I do not have it set to run on any particular schedule, or..at least not intentionally. I run the scandisk manually at least every couple of days, and the defrag every month or so, depending on my computer activities. I have updated and run my SpyBot, Adaware, AV's, HijackThis and Stinger. Perhaps a bit of overkill, but, I seem to be hunting a ghost, so I called on all the GhostBusters I could think of. ;-) I'd truly appreciate any suggestions, information or input, in hopes it might shed some light on what may be causing this odd behavior. Then perhaps I might have an idea where else to start troubleshooting to find what/where is causing the defrag to autorun. Best regards, Jan :) Tag: Utility to copy program to new computer Tag: 225225

    - can't download windows updates Hi, I have been going into my windows updates that opens in my start menu. When I click on it to search for updates to my windows ME, it says I have 3 critical updates. I click on "install now", then it looks like it's going to start the upgrade but the progress stays a 0 and nothing happens. When I go into my update history, it says they all failed. My computer has been acting weird for about 6 months now but it's not too bad. I can still use it fine. I just have a feeling that there is a problem pn my C drive. I have run all virus scans and things to check your computer and it doesn't find anything. There is some reason why I cand download the updates and sometimes I cand do the maintenance. When it gets to disc defrag, it stays on 0 also. Ant suggestions? Is there some program I can run that will check my hard drive for problems? There must be something messed up somewhere. Thanks for your time! God Bless, Jill :o) Tag: Utility to copy program to new computer Tag: 225203

    - Security Update Downloads Hi, Is there any way a person can download all of the Windows Me and IE6 security updates at one time so I can save them on a CD?

A correctly licensed CD is missing, and I would like to have a critical
program on the new computer (Win98SE to WinME). Is there a utility that
will let me do this so that WinME thinks it was correctly installed? So
far all the copy programs seem to deal with CD's DVD's, or images of an
entire hard drive.

Thanks,

CleanSweep "claims" to be able to move a prog from one computer to another,
but no guarantee of results. I'm sure there are more.
